[an amused spectator]

I'm sorry, I missed this. Point me to the correct post or repeat your argument.

It's the TimesSelect argument:

You call that an argument for ignoring the abstract? Frankly, I can't follow it.

The proceedings of the Royal Society are primarily intended for working professional scientists...but anyone who wants to pay can gain access. Comparing this publication to Times Select is disingenuous (and I'm being quite generous here). A fairer comparison is to Stratfor, or analytic journals intended for business professionals.

The abstract cannot be ignored. It is serious science.
